00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.319
Now<00:06:34.420><c> this</c><00:06:34.560><c> is</c><00:06:34.779><c> of</c><00:06:35.000><c> course</c><00:06:35.459><c> the</c><00:06:36.319><c> Roman</c><00:06:36.720><c> Empire</c>

00:06:39.699 --> 00:06:42.199
because<00:06:40.399><c> there</c><00:06:40.639><c> was</c><00:06:40.920><c> no</c><00:06:41.339><c> wild</c><00:06:41.740><c> creature</c>

00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:49.279

00:06:52.740 --> 00:06:54.720
This<00:06:53.300><c> perhaps</c><00:06:53.759><c> is</c><00:06:53.959><c> the</c><00:06:54.199><c> power</c>

Resist<00:07:20.240><c> him</c><00:07:20.519><c> firm</c><00:07:20.779><c> in</c><00:07:20.920><c> your</c><00:07:21.180><c> faith,</c>

00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:30.060
And<00:07:28.040><c> so</c><00:07:28.160><c> there</c><00:07:28.339><c> indeed</c><00:07:29.160><c> were</c><00:07:29.540><c> periods</c>

00:07:30.060 --> 00:07:32.639

00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.579
and<00:07:37.139><c> made</c><00:07:37.300><c> to</c><00:07:37.519><c> fight</c><00:07:37.699><c> with</c><00:07:37.939><c> dogs</c>

00:07:38.579 --> 00:07:40.199

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:42.639

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:47.399
So<00:07:44.639><c> we</c><00:07:44.899><c> have</c><00:07:45.060><c> this</c><00:07:45.660><c> fourth</c><00:07:46.180><c> creature,</c>

00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:55.720
And<00:07:53.980><c> now</c><00:07:54.220><c> we</c><00:07:54.439><c> see</c><00:07:54.600><c> the</c><00:07:54.839><c> sequence,</c><00:07:55.480><c> then,</c>

00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.980

00:08:05.100 --> 00:08:07.480
We<00:08:05.699><c> have</c><00:08:06.019><c> noted</c><00:08:06.259><c> the</c><00:08:06.579><c> Babylonian</c>

00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:25.300
And<00:08:22.399><c> then</c><00:08:22.519><c> we</c><00:08:22.839><c> come</c><00:08:23.079><c> to</c><00:08:23.439><c> the</c><00:08:23.879><c> Roman</c><00:08:24.259><c> power,</c>

00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:26.800

Now<00:08:54.700><c> Daniel</c><00:08:54.960><c> describes</c><00:08:55.559><c> this</c>

in<00:08:56.860><c> verse</c><00:08:57.259><c> 7.</c>

00:08:58.620 --> 00:09:00.100
When<00:08:58.759><c> he</c><00:08:58.980><c> says</c><00:08:59.220><c> that</c><00:08:59.379><c> it</c><00:08:59.620><c> devoured</c>
